citizens is Arthur D. Jones, councilman from the fifth ward. Mr. Jones was born
in Cass county, Michigan, in 1859. At the age of 11 years he removed to Iowa
and later he attended the Iowa State University. After completing his education
he taught school in Minnesota for two years when he removed to Chicago, where
for five years he occupied a responsible position in the employ of "The Chicago
Daily News." Mr. Jones on account of ill health removed to Spokane in 1887. In
